802.11ac Monitor mode












-2














My USB wireless adapter doesn't support the rtl8821au driver that's pre-installed in kali-Linux. But I finally got it working with rtl8821cu driver just fine.



Link for the Drivers that I used: https://github.com/whitebatman2/rtl8821CU



Unfortiontly, it doesn't seem to support Monitor mode.
not sure if it's the Driver or the card itself



This is the output of the airmon-ng command:



airmon-ng start wlan1


PHY Interface Driver Chipset

phy0 wlan0 iwlwifi Intel Corporation Wireless 3160 (rev 83)
phy1 wlan1 rtl8821cu Realtek Semiconductor Corp.


ERROR adding monitor mode interface: command failed: Operation not supported (-95)


if I try putting it into Monitor Mode with this:



ifconfig wlan1 down
iwconfig wlan1 monitor mode


It hangs forever and the whole computer freezes until I reboot it my self by pressing the power button.
